This creature when provoked
that comes forth in rage?

He’s always filled with surprises
that leaves me
numb,
Frightened,
seeking answers as to why
Is sudden, intrusive appearance.

He is stirred by offensive words,
accusations
Or even a sarcastic look.

He is unpredictable,
uncontrollable,
unreliable and it
scares me to death
knowing that he churns,
lurks, waiting to pounce
on his next victim who
has no idea that he exists.

All Eyes behold an image
of a lovely girl
calm, collective.
Always smiling

until…

You awakened HIM

I am consumed with fear,
Rendered powerless
to this strange being
That holds me captive,
a prisoner in my own house.

I am left speechless after
this ferocious storm passes
Always wondering will He ever go away,
This unbridled, caged demon within?
